Recycling scrap metal at facilities like ours helps to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and energy consumption by metal processors. A considerable amount of energy is saved by using recycled metals as opposed to virgin ore, including:

Up to 92% for aluminum

Up to 90% for copper

Up to 56% for steel

Metal recycling also helps to conserve natural resources. For example, recycling one tonne of steel conserves around 2,500 lbs. of iron ore, 1,400 lbs. of coal and 120 lbs. of limestone.
